When holo and leopard meet

Hi everyone~ :) I've been a total slacker and haven't even started studying for my next exam, how good am I? :P Instead, I've been relaxing and watching lots of drama, hehe. And painting my nails :) I really liked how this mani turned out, too bad I somehow wrinkled it.

The polishes I used in the mani:

Color Club Wild at heart

Ulta3 black satin, gooseberry

Glossyblossom nail art striper in white, violet

Wild at heart is such a gorgeous holo and the awesome thing is that it's so opaque in one coat. I applied two out of habit but if you're careful, you can save this beauty and get away with one coat :). The photo below shows what it looks like in the sun. I can hardly remember what the sun looks like anymore, it's been raining so much here. And it's supposed to for the rest of the week too... :(

What do you think of this mani? I'm quite pleased with it and will try other combinations in the future too :D

Simple but pretty

Hello~ This nail art design has been done and shown before on my blog, but it's so simple and pretty that I can't help but use it again :). As you can see, I'm still very into layering haha. Sorry, I'm not feeling talkative today. I'll let the photos do the work then :P.

Who blue this pretty over?

Hi everyone~ ^^ Ahh, such a lame title, I know. I really like how my current mani came out though, it's definitely blown me over by the prettiness, hehe.

Indoors, under natural light.

I first applied two coats of Ulta3 spring shower. On my pinky and index I layered one coat of China Glaze White cap. I used Glossyblossm nail art striper in white to paint the stripes and added one coat of L.A. Colors Star light for the glitter. Two coats of OPI Last Friday night was layered on my fourth finger. It's such a pretty blue glitter polish! Love it <3. Finally, I added some rhinestones on to my thumb.

And in the sun. I wish I was able to capture how gorgeous Last Friday night looked under the sun.

You may have realised I changed from the Blogger commenting system to Disqus. This makes replying to comments much easier so hopefully it works well for everyone. Do let me know if you have any trouble with it and I'll try to fix it :). Oh, and have a look at my Thank you-Sorry giveaway :) here if you haven't already ^^

More randomness

Hey~ :) This was another easy nail art design I decided to do to jazz up my otherwise plain mani. I applied two coats of Sportsgirl Supernatural on my nails. For my accent nail I applied two coats of Ulta3 black satin and used Glossyblossom nail art striper in violet to do the stripes. Simple mani, but I like it :)

My life is becoming a lot more hectic now with assignments due in pretty much every single week. On top of that, I'll be starting prac and so posts will probably not be as often as they have been recently, haha. I guess I'll be going back to posting every 2 or so days, provided I have time to do my nails.

Random nail art

Hello~^^ This mani is seriously a bit of this and that - I had no clue what I wanted when I started and...this was the result, lol.

I quite like how everything just fell into place, sometimes simplicity is the best <3. Shown is two coats of Sally Hansen Mosaic creme.

The polishes used:
Sally Hansen Mosaic creme
Glossyblossom Nail art two way striper in white

A random nail art design

Hello~ Wow, the weekend has just flown by! I was super busy and didn't have much time for my nails but things have finally calmed down again.

I quite liked how the nail art turned out this time, but I'm sad that the polish wrinkled :(. I guess I didn't leave enough time for it to dry before going to shower.

And the polishes I used:

Essie Turquoise & Caicos
Glossyblossom Nail art two way striper in white
Misa Dirty, Sexy, Money
Ulta3 black satin
Eclipse #527

Nail art #17 - A bit of this and that ♥

Heyyyy! I just heard from a friend that one of my assignments due next week has been extended to mid Novemeber so I'm celebrating by not working on it and blogging :P. I'm also on the road to recovery now so I felt up for a little nail art today :). Just something random I came up with since I was in a cheerful mood today.

I used two coats of China Glaze's Light as air for my first, fourth and fifth fingers as well as the leopard prints on my third finger. For the base on that finger, I applied two coats of Ulta3's Lily White. I used Maybelline's Dark Chocolate for the black line and and leopard prints. White stripes are done by using my Glossyblossom striper. Oh, the glitter is from mwah's Magnetic.

I'm really happy with this mani overall and I especially love how the leopard prints turned out. I can't believe how easy they are to do! More of them coming in the future now, haha :P.

Nail art #16 - A sailor went to sea sea sea

In an attempt to reflect the sunny and warm days we had a couple of days ago, I tried my hand at some nautical themed nail art. I can't say I did  brilliantly though. Don't you just hate it when a beautifully planned out design in your head just doesn't translate onto your nails?

I applied two coats Savvy by DB's Cobalt and used Glossyblossom's nail art striper in White for the nail art. I made use of my rhinestones to form an anchor shape on my fourth finger and topped everything off with my Poshe top coat. I can't believe it streaked my stripes on my fifth finger! Oh Poshe :(.

I was alright with my result at first, but after looking at it the next morning, I began to dislike it. I don't even know why. -sigh- I really need to stop with the fail art and produce better nail art.

Nail art #14 - Halloween enough for you?

I'm not one who normally celebrates Halloween, it's not even a big holiday here in Australia, but after I came across this video, I knew I just had to have a go at it. My attempt wasn't the most successful, but from a distance, it looks pretty cool :P.

I used Ulta3's Black Plum  as the base and it's just a gorgeous wine red shimmer. Glorious, I tell you. I need to wear this on its own in the future, that's how much I love it. I then used Glossyblossom's nail art striper in White for the spider web. It's not brilliant, but I do like the outcome, especially when not up close. I swear it looks ten times better from a far.

Nail art #13 - Kiwi nails!

Woah, I've made it through the week and the weekend! Hectic back to Uni week and on top of that I had a busy weekend, but I've somehow pulled through and yes, more nail art! :D This design was inspired by Cutepolish's youtube tutorial. I was all for a spring-y design since it's spring here (and most like it too, it's been cloudy and rainy since forever!) and came across the video; I obviously couldn't resist the cute kiwi nails :P.

Polishes used are China Glaze's Re-Freshmint for the base - I used two coats, Ulta3's Lily White for the middle of the kiwi, Glossyblossom's nail art striper in White and Maybelline's Dark Chocolate for the seeds.

I know Re-Freshmint is hardly the best green shade for kiwis but I don't own that many green polishes to begin with and so had a rather limited collection to choose from. This was truly the best I could find.

As you can see, I've filed my nails to a rounder shape due to my middle nail breaking. You can see it's awkwardly filed compared to the rest of the nails. I'm not quite sure I love the round nail look on me, I certainly do prefer square shaped nails more, but I'm not hating it. Which is good because it'll be awhile until I get my square nail shape back :P.

Nail art #12

It's a wonder how simply dotting and striping can make a manicure look so much better. I was out of ideas for nail art but was in the mood for some, so what better than to combine the basics?

(I do apologise for the lack of clean up.)

Shown above is three coats of mwah's Thrillseeker. I then used Glossyblossom's nail art polish in White to paint the stripes and dots. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the outcome :).

I'll be returning to Uni soon so I don't know how much time I'll have from now on to spend on nail art. Hopefully this won't be my last for awhile still...

Nail art #9

I felt like some warmer colours today and after much thought decided on OPI's You don't know Jacques. YDKJ is a surprisingly darker shade to what I've seen around, but I love it all the same. I love my dark polishes to bits, I do :). I spiced up my manicure with some nail art; not exactly what I had in mind initially, but I like it all the same.

Two coats of YDKJ and three coats of Color Club's High Society. White dots are by Ulta3's Lily White and striping done with Glossyblossom's nail art in White. It isn't as apparent in real life, but wow, that rhinestone on my pinky looks huuuuge o___o.

Like I said, this didn't turn out the way I had planned, but I'm not hating it. I just need more inspiration ;~;

Nail art #6

Lamest title ever, but I really didn't know what to call this post :/.

I tried my hand at some nail art over the weekend and am pretty satisfied with the end result :). The design was inspired by this photo, but I decided to choose a lighter colour since I've been wearing some rather pigmented polishes lately.

Polishes used:

Sportsgirl - Baby Elephant
Glossyblossom Two-way nail art - #S08 (white) and #S03 (purple shimmer)

I applied two coats of Baby Elephant as a base for my third and fifth fingers. (I think my bottle is getting a bit old, the polish was noticeably thicker this time round compared to the last.) This polish is a lovely greyed out light purple, with shimmer throughout to give it an overall gorgeous look. You can see the amount of shimmer there is in the polish in the bottle! I then used my striper to apply the white stripes. For my first and fourth fingers, I freehanded a french tip with Baby Elephant (again, two coats), then added the purple strip to 'neaten' out the look. I made use of my dotting tools to apply the dots, again, using the white polish from the striper polish. I really love the end result :).

Nail art #3 - Plaid nails

My attempt at plaid nails was semi successful :).

Polishes used:
Base - CG's Light as air
Green - CG's Re-Freshmint
White stripes - Glossyblossom's White


I'm quite pleased with the result in that the colours came out really well. I was doubtful at first with using Re-Freshmint over Light as air, but after I applied the white stripes, the colours came together really well. This was a rather messy application, but I'm hoping to try it again once my new brushes arrive! :) Oh, the lone nail on the bottom corner is my left fourth finger. This nail came out the best, but I can't say the same for the rest of the nails..hehe.
